...spend two weeks over their lifetime waiting for the traffic light to change.
...spend 7 years of your life in the bathroom.

I doubt they would find a correct masturbating stat because there are too many variables, and people probably lie about it anyway. Not to mention it being a pretty strange question to appear outside a porno mag.

Correction. Change it to American lifetime.

Most of the world is in poverty. That would crush the life expectancy, eating, and anything to do with technology.

Here, take this then smart-ass.
_________________________

Subject: Something to think about....
If we could shrink the earth's population to a village of precisely 100 people, with all the existing human ratios remaining the same, it would look something like the following:

57 Asians
21 Europeans
14 from the Western Hemisphere, both north and south
8 Africans

52 would be female
48 would be male

70 would be non-white
30 would be white

70 would be non-Christian
30 would be Christian

89 would be heterosexual
11 would be homosexual

6 people would possess 59% of the entire world's wealth and all 6 would be from the United States.

80 would live in substandard housing

70 would be unable to read

50 would suffer from malnutrition

1 would be near death; 1 would be near birth

1 (yes, only 1) would have a college education

1 would own a computer

When one considers our world from such a compressed perspective, the need for acceptance, understanding and education becomes glaringly apparent.

The following is also something to ponder...

If you woke up this morning with more health than illness...you are more blessed than the million people who will not survive this week.

If you have never experienced the danger of battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation...you are ahead of 500 million people in the world.

If you can attend a church meeting without fear of harassment, arrest, torture, or death...you are more blessed than three billion people in the world.

If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep...you are richer than 75% of this world.

If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish someplace ... you are among the top 8% of the world's wealthy.

If your parents are still alive and still married... you are very rare, even in the United States and Canada.

Righty oh. Well then, perhaps you can answer me this question 1.

Where in the hell did the Simpsons writers get the Booting as a tradition idea? Was it something they pulled from the nether regions of imagination or is there some obscure anchor in our history that they brought up? I've never heard of it.

According to the Prime Meridian, which seperates the East from the West - parts of the United Kingdom, France, all of Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, Italy, Qatar, Kuwait, Saudia Arabia, Japan, Australia, and China are in the East.

Know what else is in the West? Chile, Peru, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Hati.. etc... Canada is also as not as rich as you think.

i'm sorry that episode offends you, wes and rip purr...i hope you know that not all of us dumb swamp-land americans think that's typical of life in austrailia. just like we don't think of canada as america jr., or of canadians as our retarded cousins to the north.

a word of advice: just as you should never get into a battle of wits with a sicilian when death is on the line, you should never argue geopolitics with someone who bends statistics/rules of the game to suit their ill-formed opinions. in my line of work, we call 'em spin doctors, or asshole for short.

"Absinthe is a strong herbal liqueur distilled with a great number of flavorful herbs like anise, licorice, hyssop, veronica, fennel, lemon balm, angelica and wormwood (the flavor of anise and/or licorice, at least in contemporary forms of the liquor, tends to predominate). Wormwood, the one that's gained the most notoriety, is Artemisia absinthum, an herb that grows wild in Europe and has been cultivated in the United States as well. Much of the liquor's legendary effect is due to its extremely high alcohol content, ranging from 50% to 75% (usually around 60%), plus the contribution of the various herbs. It has been assumed by many that the so-called "active ingredient" in absinthe is wormwood, although that is apparently not really the case."
anywhere from 100 proof to 150 proof depending on how strong it was made.
"the United States banned absinthe in 1912. Interestingly, however, the current U.S. Customs restrictions on the importation of absinthe only date to 1958. The USDA and FDA regulations also ban the sale or importation of any beverage containing wormwood."
wormwood having the ability to get you high is the reason for the ban on sale or importation of any beverage containing it.
